Metamorphic Manufacturing: Shaping the Future of On-Demand Components

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1070167 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Metamorphic manufacturing MM can be concisely described as a new, revolutionary approach to manufacturing that relies on closed-loop, numerically controlled, incremental forming to simultaneously achieve complex shapes, specific engineering properties and local microstructures. Metamorphic manufacturing has also been referred to as robotic blacksmithing, with the skill and force of the human blacksmith replaced by robotic systems. Five fundamental elements that provide the basis for the full implementation of metamorphic manufacturing STARC are sensors, thermal control, actuators and forming tools, robotic manipulation systems, and computation.
